I just rediscovered "The Naked City" on Tubi

I vaguely remember the show from when I was a wee lad. But I'm really enjoying watching them. They're very well written, acted, and give you a fascinating glimpse into late 1950's New York City. I'm hooked!

I am fortunate to have a local station carry this series, under the "Retro TV" network. Naked City is on 2 pm PDT weekdays. Excellent noir-ish series!

There was a film noire movie of the same name made in 1948. It had a pretty lightweight plot, and lots of scenes from New York, with real people doing real things.

I was fascinated with the scenes of NY from that time. Living conditions seemed really basic, but everyone seemed pretty happy.
